SECOND PLACER: IMAGERY CONTESTS' THIRD CHALLENGE This is a Heroes of Olympus fanfiction with a twist of Alice in wonderland ONE SHOT entry for the Imagery Contests. In @Maxwell_S 's Imagery Contest, a photo is given in the media box and you have to write something about it. Exciting challenge, I know! The picture that inspired me to write about this is in the media box of the first (and only) chapter. No copyright infringement intended. All but one is a character made by my fave author, Rick Riordan. The setting is in the cave of Delphi, now occupied by monsters led by Python. A young, unsuspecting, and curious "mortal" girl ended up to this cave. She was held as a captive along with Percy, who is in another quest with the Heroes of Olympus, when he was captured by Kampê and brought to the desecrated cave. How will they escape? Simple. They'll run.

This is a One Shot Entry for the Imagery Contests' 4th Challenge. Onyx is a kingdom secluded from international modern influences, located in Northern England. This caged, hidden realm is reigned by King William the Child of Onyx. He is gifted with two sons, who were both killed in the Great Civil War against Monarchy. The royals won the war, but in order to compromise, they imposed a pseudo democratic monarchy type of government, where the Crowned Heir will be chosen by the people, when both of the king's grandchildren come of age. Princess Shauna was always thought to be mentally challenged, maybe even schizophrenic. Despite her incapacities, her birth right gave her an equal chance to be the Ruler of the kingdom. Then, she was accused of a crime, which forced her to exile. Will she ever survive the land beyond the gates? This wonderful cover courtesy of @Maxwell_S :)

Iisa lang ang nasa isip ni Louise Klein Villafuerte ngayon -- ang maghiganti. Maghiganti sa lahat ng mga taong sumira sa buhay niya, sa mga taong naging dahilan ng pagkamatay ng kanyang ina. Sumidhi ang matinding galit nito sa kanila na maging ang lalaking walang kaalam-alam ay ginamit niya. Saan nga ba hahantong ang paghihiganting kanyang binabalak? Paano nga ba niya ito maisasakatuparan kung ang galit na kanyang nararamdaman ay unti-unting napapalitan? Hanggang kailan nga ba niya ito maipigilan?

Ang pag-ibig ay parang nagsusugal. Pag sigurado kang mahal mo ang tao, ibibigay mo ang lahat. Ang problema dito ay di mo alam kung may maibabalik paba sayo o wala. Maswerte ang nakakakuha ng higit pa sa inaasahan, pero luhaan ang mga sumugal at natalo. Pero ganun paman, tulad ng sugal, kahit walang kasiguraduhan, marami paring umiibig, marami paring sumusugal. Dahil... Baka Sakali... Baka Sakali... Kaya mo bang sumuko sa pagba baka sakali?

Alam mong kalaban pero nagawa mo paring mahalin. Alam mong hindi pwede pero mas lalo ka paring nagpupumilit. Alam mong mali pero ginagawa mong tama. Totoong masarap ang mga bawal. Pero masarap parin ba pag magkasakitan na? Masarap parin ba pag pinaiyak ka na? Hanggang kailan mo kayang ipaglaban ang pag ibig na hindi mo mabitiwan? Hanggang kailan mo kayang ipaglaban ang pag ibig na bawal?

Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."

It was wrong to be near her. No. He shouldn't be near her. Nilalabanan ni Brandon ang kanyang sarili dahil useless ang attraction na nararamdaman niya. For him, it was all just a game. For him it's pretend-love every night and the show is over every morning. Kaya illegal ang makaramdam ng constant attraction para sa isang babaeng hindi niya naman gaanong kilala. But when Aurora Veronica wore that freaking corporate uniform, the walls he tried to build so hard came crashing down. Come on, Brandon, who are you kidding? The girl looked innocent but she's damn hot with those killer heels. It probably won't hurt that much. After all, it's just a game. It's just a game. Yes, it's just a game. Just one night. One night. It only takes one night to believe all the lies.

Bata pa lang ay namulat na si Sunny na tatlong bagay lang ang kailangan niya sa buhay: bahay, pera, at pamilya. Namuhay siyang mahirap sa loob ng labing siyam na taon at ngayong bente na siya ay hindi iyon nagbago. Ang tanging nag bago lang siguro sa kanya ngayon ay ang pagkawala ng kanyang katuwang sa buhay: ang kanyang ina. Hindi pa nakakabangon sa sakit ay pinili niyang magpakatatag at mabuhay para sa sarili at para sa mga pangarap. Life is hard but it's easy to be strong. Iyon ang panlaban niya, ang pagiging matatag at pursigido. She was invincible because of that, but will she still feel invincible with a beast around? Lalo na pag napaibig na siya nito? Mahina ba talaga ang mga babae pag dating sa pag ibig? Because she was sure as hell beginning to lose all her strength. Ano nga ba ang gagawin Sunny kung ang magiging hadlang sa kanyang maabot ang lahat ng gusto ay ang siyang magpapaibig rin sa kanya ng husto? Worst. May magagawa talaga kaya siya?
